This Woman Makes $40 an Hour as a Mom to Millennials

Do you offer sage advice? Want to lend a listening ear to millennials? Bake a killer pecan pie? Are you great at helping people shop for family members?

If you meet any of these qualifications, you might want to consider working as a “rent a mom.”

Nina Keneally, of New York, earns $40 per hourproviding “mom services” to millennials in need of a little extra assistance.

Keneally has two adult sons and has worked as both a drug rehab counselor and a theatrical producer. She's used to tough situations and improvisation.

Curious about her business — and how you could follow her lead? Here’s the scoop.

Why Would Someone Rent a Mom?

“When you need a mom… just not YOUR mom,” her website NeedaMomNYC.com says.

Keneally's site says she won't judge, compare clients to siblings, require them to remember her birthday or (and maybe most important) “keep you on the phone for 45 minutes talking about the neighbor's cat or your uncle's gout.”

Who wouldn't like that?

Renting a mom can help you get advice and assistance without the judgment or lifestyle-choice assessments many parents make.

Since you work for yourself, you can set your own “will” and “won't do” task lists. While Keneally won't clean a client’s oven or organize his closet, that doesn't mean you can't offer your own bathtub-scrubbing services.
